and, having a family dependent on him,
was in considerable straits. He ascer-
tanned that il the coffin were removed by
rail to Colchester, and thence to Little
Horkesley,the cost would be 81 2s., which
was more than he could afford, but he
remembered his promise. and determined
to wheel the body down by road. On the
death he had finished the coffin, and hav.
ing obtained certificate from the regis.
trar, he placed the coffin on his handcart,
and went to fetch the body from the
hospital. At first the hospital authorities
refused to let him have it, but were reas-
sured, and gave their consent. He took
away the body at $3.50 that night, and by
$50 next morning was on the road to
Colchester.
Bali thus relates the story of his jour.
ney:
81 wheeled the body on the handcart,
and brought my second little boy with
me. aged about ten. He rode on the
coffin down hill and on the level road,
but when we had to 90 up hill he helped
to push little, because | was so weak
and i'll. The first day put up two miles
short of lngatestone, at an inn. On the
night of the second day | reached Wit
came to Inc and wanted to know what |
had got in the coffin. One of them said
he was detective, and he said, Il de-
mand to look inside said, Show
me your warrant card and he
could not do so. We had
q bother, and he would have forced open
the coffin; but my master is always
stronger than the devil, and he gave me
strength to struggle with the man and
put HIM out of the house. then sent my
little boy for Il policeman, and then the
row was over, The inspector of police
address, and showed him the certificate
of death and answered all his inquiries
satisfactorily and truthfully. Next morn

rived at little Horkesley just after 6 on

The body was duly buried next day,

Chinese Sampans.

Cor. Baltimore Sun: Looking over
the side we see the first evidence of our
approach to the tlowery kingdom, for we
are surrounded by sampans manned by
Chinese oarsmcn. These boats are short
and flat. bottomed, with the bow looking
like the snout of an alligator aud the
stern rounding up into two curved spars
in the same fashion as the handles of a
baby carriage. The boatmen stand up
and propel them by pushing the oars,
the handles of which they cross in front
of them. These boats are generally
painted in bright colors, and always have
a large eye painted on each bow. II you
ask a boatman why those eyes are there
he will answer you: mo hab eye, how
can see ? No can see, how can sabez !?
No can sabeZ, how can do?" The boat
men don't wear much clothing, but they
make up for suchlack by wearing a cone
shaped hat from two to three feet in
diameter.

Keeping His Promise to a Dying Girl

Essex Telegraph: Great excitement
has been created in the neighborhood by
tho circumstances under which dead
body was recently wheeled ON hand
cart from London to the village of Little
Horkesley, distance of more than
fifty miles.
The deceased was young woman
named Amey Carey Dansey. She was
brought up by her grandfather and
grandmother at their home at Little
Horkesley, and when old enough went out
to service. Sometime ago she was at
tackled by consumption, and rapidly
growing worse, was removed to
Brompton hospital. where she
died early in the present month. Among
those who had constantly visited the girl
while she was in the hospital were her
mother and her stSpfather, Joseph Bell,
living in London. In answer to her
oft repeated desire to be buried in Little
Horkesley churchyard, Ball had assured
her that she should be buried there; but
as the event proved, the promise was not
easy to fulfill. Being q cabinetmaker,
Ball was able to make the coffin himself;
but the question of the conveyance OF
the body to Little Horkesley presented
great difficulties.
In consequence OF an accident, Ball
had for nineteen weeks been out OF work,

COUNTRY ROADS.
The True Way to Secure Their I'm.
prOvement.


The Engineering News dcvotes an arti-
Gle in the current number to country
roads. In many cases, it says, their con-
ditlon is even worse than when the stage
coaches and teams of Conestoga wagons
of our grandsires' day made some care
of them public necessity. What is
wanted, it continues, Is an engineer, Sc
lected under conditions that will insure
his competency, fairly paid for his work,
and clOthen with power to enforce his
plans, when any plans are to be carried
out, and who will be personally respon.
sible for the character of his own work
and the soudness of his Judgment IN de.
Gliding upon the merits OF county struc-
lures designed by other parties.
Any such official powers in the hands
of competent engineer, and his pro-
posed freedom from embarrassing rela-
tions with--for such work-incompetent
county officials, would be such wide
departure from present practice, that we
cannot pretend to formulate a law upon
this subject. That it would be desirable
in the interest of good engineering, and
true economy, even the most prejudiced
cannot deny; that the initiative step must
be taken by those who ultimately pay in
taxes or in life for the blunders of the
ignorant. Even the farmer consults his
doctor when sick in body, and his lawyer
W
and never dreams of substituting one for
the other or consulting himself. Yet he
seems to think that he or his neighbor
can build all the bridges, roads ETC.,
select the best plan from many of any
proposed structure, and IN fact do all the
engineering work his neighborhood re-
quires. That he does 1t now is often the
fact; but that he does it we'll is open to
the gravest doubt.
Every county at least needs its fully
recognized county engineer with whom
the layman should be compelled to con.
sult and vino should have power to act.
When this is accomplished we can then,
and only then, be considered as begin.
ming to remove conditions that are now
national reproach. We admit that our
country is new; that the government
does not care for our highways as in
Europe; that our counties are too poor
to eXpend the sums required for good
work, and that the proposed improve
ment upon present conditions is too vast
| and that this improvement must neces-
sarily be slow.
But while admitting this, we also con.
tend that under present control the ma
| jOrlty of our county governments,
| especially the poor ones, waste much
money by misdirected and ignorant
attempts at well-doing; that the manual
| labor now expended is about as effective
in securing the end sought after, as would
be transporting water in sieve; and
| finally the sooner we commence to inn
prove upon bad practice, and realize
that our advance in other directions de-
mands immediate attention in this direc-
ton. the better for all parties concerned.
